DataViz®, Inc., a leading provider of mobile office compatibility solutions, today announced the availability of Documents To Go® Premium Edition and PDF To Go® for BlackBerry® smartphones. The award winning mobile Office suite Documents To Go enables a full set of features for viewing, editing and creating native Microsoft® Word, Excel® and PowerPoint® files and attachments1 including support for Office 2007, on BlackBerry smartphones. DataViz is also introducing PDF To Go, which allows users to view native PDF files on their BlackBerry smartphones. Documents To Go Premium Edition offers advanced functionality over the Standard Edition, which was selected by Research In Motion (RIM) to be included on BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry® Device Software 4.5 or higher, including the BlackBerry® Bold TM, BlackBerry® Pearl TM Flip, and BlackBerry® Storm TM2 smartphones.
The native PDF viewer, "˜PDF To Go´, will be offered as a free bonus application for customers who purchase Documents To Go Premium Edition. The PDF viewer provides a clear and crisp viewing experience (rendering stays true to the desktop file) and contains multiple zooming, word wrap for easy readability and support for password protected files. PDF To Go together with Documents To Go Premium Edition, enables BlackBerry smartphone users to gain immediate access to Adobe® PDF and Microsoft Office files as it does not require a desktop or server conversion to take place. In addition, users can edit their Office documents with confidence as DataViz´s acclaimed InTact Technology TM will ensure that all original file formatting is retained once a file has been edited on their BlackBerry smartphone and forwarded on.
"Documents To Go Standard Edition has been a big hit with BlackBerry smartphone users and we are now very pleased that DataViz is offering customers even greater document editing flexibility with the introduction of its Premium Edition and free 30 day trial," said Jeff McDowell, Vice President of Global Alliances, Research In Motion.
"RIM is clearly a leader in the smartphone space embraced by serious business users and consumers alike and we are delighted to work with them as they ship BlackBerry smartphones with Documents To Go," said Dick Fontana, president and CEO of DataViz, Inc. "As a leading developer of mobile Office solutions we are excited to bring our years of Microsoft Office experience to the BlackBerry platform and provide RIM users with the benefits of a complete and comprehensive mobile Office solution."
